Fishing in someone else's pond

[JRutledge]

You really are combining too many things together and getting offended by them.

First of all, the call that you made was right in front of your partner. Let him live or die with that call. You should not even be looking there according to your story. What are you missing by looking at this play?

Secondly, what does this have to do with being offended by calling outside your area? It does not seem that anyone got offended by your call. An experienced official just suggested that you went fishing. It sounds like he was telling the truth by your own post here. Also understand what you feel is a carry, your partner might not feel is a carry. Let your partner make that call.

Finally you are addressing an issue that appears to be your own. No one said that you had to say, "That is not my area." But if a coach asks you a question about a call that your partner makes, it is perfectly acceptable to say, "he had a better look at it than I did." I tell coaches all the time, "that is his primary, he saw the whole thing." But that does not seem to be the issue here. Hell, you can say nothing.

Peace
